I know nothing about modern trends in fertility decline.
Better cancel those Valentines Day reservations!
Looks like I have yet another project due early next week!

I'd better get my work done
because it looks like I’ll be Skyping some nerd in Iowa tonight.
That moment when you realize you don't know who's...

This is one of the best jokes I’ve ever heard
I'm going to finish these questions for methods

Man, I was really starting to lose my sense of...

She’ll be gone for 18 months - basically the entire time I’ll be formulating and writing my thesis. This is ridiculously bad news and is making me wonder what the fuck I’m even...
